"Does that change your view?"

Not really. First of all- I'm not sure that is exactly so- or at least as simple as that. I think we need more details. Second, regardless of who or when it was sought in the past- it does not appear to be such a coveted jewel that it will be just the thing to attract suitors today. I don't exactly hear a stampede forming, with investors far and wide sighing in relief that they can now, with a simple JV offer, finally get there hands on that long desired Robber's Roost. No- it still seems more of an ill conceived distraction, diverting resources and attention from the business at hand- drilling Hay Mountain and exploiting our Carlin Style Gold Asset.
